EWA is a payroll innovation that enables workers to access wages they have already earned when they need it – without waiting for an arbitrary payday. According to the Financial Health Network, EWA is a rapidly growing and popular employee benefit. In 2020, there were 55 million EWA transactions and $9.5 billion in earned wages facilitated, and about 15 percent of employers offer EWA as a benefit to their employees.
DailyPay integrates directly with many of America’s largest employers, human capital management companies, and financial institutions.
